Two teams that faced each other no more than a month ago in the Quarterfinals of the National Clubs returned to collide in Burzaco for the fourth round of the URBA Top 12. The home team, with many absences due to the different selections and the blow of the recent defeat against Newman, could not react against a Belgrano that hit at the right moments and took a great victory from a difficult stronghold for everyone.
The first half had moments for both teams, the home team was the one who came out in search of the match, but the defense of the "Marrón" continues to be one of the strong points, which is why week after week they have success in the tournament.
That defense that made them recover balls and with their usual line and maul formula they were able to open the scoring through Ignacio Favre when 25 minutes of the first half had passed. Celebration on the visiting bench for the play, but the joy did not last long because in the first counterattack that Pucará had, and with a great onslaught by Jonathan Marchetta, the front row arrived and scored the discount for his team that seemed to go to halftime only two points behind.
Just before halftime and from a ball recovered in their own field, Belgrano added the second try through Benjamín Guayta, the standout player of the afternoon, to go to halftime 12-5 ahead.
The second half was different, everything worked out for Belgrano, and in twelve minutes they were able to score two tries that extended the lead to 19-5, one of them again from second row Guayta and the other from Agustín Gómez Di Nardo.
Then came the moment of a rough game, with many fouls and several yellow cards, Belgrano played with 13 players for almost 10 minutes and it was there where Juan Delguy was able to score a try.
But it was a drop in the desert, because Pucará couldn't get anything right, couldn't pick up their game, and Belgrano didn't forgive them: first with Agustín López Isnardi and at the end with Facundo Camardón they closed the 36-10, bonus and victory that puts them in first position along with SIC and Hindú.
